Many foodies are impressed by the Chinese noodles that famously expand in one huge mass when placed in hot oil. What are they called?

Answer Rice noodles

Used in many movies because of their dramatic effect, Chinese rice stick noodles can be boiled in a broth for a delicious and light flavor that is popular in Chinese and Thai dishes. Or — here comes the fun part — they can be placed in hot peanut or vegetable oil in a very deep stew pot, and they will immediately puff up into a large, crispy mass that can then be broken up and used in salads or under a stir-fry dish.
